Semi-Audi related content:

On their Horror Stories page ( http://www.carfaxreport.com/horror.htm )
they tell about a 1991 200 Quattro that had a VIN that described the car
as a wagon.

I'm not so sure this is a case of swapped VIN's since the VIN that Eric
Fluhr (for a 1984 4kq) posted earlier today says that it's really an
'83-88 5k.  (according to the VIN interpreter posted on the WWW)  And I
seem to recall seeing this on another Audi at some point.  Were they
just not very careful about using the right designators or ??

Interesting.
